May 6, Pozirk<\/em>. <\/strong>A judge from the Mahilo\u016d region\u2019s H\u0142usk district branded the Facebook page of deceased artist Ale\u015b Pu\u0161kin as \u201cextremist\u201d content two days ago, says an updated register on the interior ministry\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pu\u0161kin died in July 2023 while serving a five-year prison term on charges of insulting state symbols and inciting hatred, after investigators seized his painting of Ja\u016dhien \u017dychar, a commander of an anti-Soviet resistance group in the 1940-50s, and nationally-styled items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He died of a perforated stomach ulcer in hospital, where he was transferred from Hrodna\u2019s Prison No. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Facebook page has 4,800 followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A national movement veteran, Pu\u0161kin was active with the Belarusian Popular Front in the 1980s. In 1999, he was given\u00a0a two-year suspended sentence\u00a0for his\u00a0performance outside the presidential office in Minsk, where he used a pitchfork to pin Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s photo to a pile of manure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
